Hello,
I just had an HP P3C-D board, case and psu donated to me earlier today withought the rest of the components. I was told b the previous owner that the setup ran fine for him prior to giving it to me. He was running a P-III 550 CPU and SDRAM in the setup. I am lucky enough to have a P-III 550 CPU lying around here and had attempted to use that and a 128mb PC-133 SDRAM to test the setup.
When I power up the unit there are post beeps (1-3-3-1) indicating to check "28 Autosize DRAM". There is nothing on the display. I reseated the riser card for the SDRAM and reseated the CPU and tested with 3 different vid cards with the same issue. I had also tested 3 different SDRAM, also with the same issue. I had also tested with a P-III667 CPU and dito. CMOS was cleared several times as indicated with dip 7 on the mobo throughout the testing process.
The donor is going to get me the P-III 550 CPU he had running in the unit and give that to me also. I am feeling pretty fortunate, and will be extremely happy if I can get this dually setup running. Hopefully this will be an OC'd dual 733 crunching proteins when I am done.
Any insight for resolution would be appreciated.
